Jewish laws, traditions and culture focus on life here on Earth. We don't believe in Hell so for us the purpose of religion is not to secure our "afterlife" but to live a good life here and now.
Thank you for reminding non-Jews that we don't believe the same way they do. As for converted spouses, I've always found them to be much more observant than their mates. Converting to Judaism is a difficult and long process.
That is somewhat disappointing. Seems like it's more like a philosophy, then, rather than a religion.
